        Ergo: Nothing we didn’t already know.

        Hey, does anyone remember when the Trumps tried to extort Ukraine for shit on Biden?

        At some point people, all people, need to understand that no, there is no Nigerian Prince, and no, you will not be a fucking multi-millionaire.

    Saudi Crown Prince. Trump defended his murder and dismemberment of a Washington Post journalist at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

      Now I am wondering about the reason Kashoggi was killed. Maybe he found out about all these connections.

  Dmitry Rybolovlev is the Russian oligarch who sold the painting “Salvator Mundi” to Mohammed bin Salman for $450 million in 2017. He also bought a Palm Springs mansion from Trump in 2008 for $30 million dollars over it’s appraised value. The same mansion both Trump and Epstein coveted in 2004.
  There’s an article that goes into more detail here. It’s fairly dismissive of the whole conspiracy, but I’m not so sure.

    NO! NO NO NO!

    NO way man.

    Look, I’m an artist and art aficionado, I’m an artficionado, I’ve seen more or less all of Da Vinci’s original works. I remember the morning I saw an article about that painting being sold, “newly discovered so and so!”. Even before I looked at it alarm bells went off, SCAM. SCAM SCAM SCAM.

    And I look at the painting, and it’s a fucking travesty. There is ZERO chance Da Vinci painted that. Look at that stupid goofy fucking face. That orb. What the fuck is that? Maybe they “improved” on some student’s of his home-work and passed it off as a Da Vinci, the whole thing was such a fucking fraud from day one, and I was AMAZED nobody questioned it-

    Until they did. And surprise surprise, there was some shady shit going down, hundreds of millions of dollars at stake, the art business is such a fucking black money laundering market it’s not even funny. How do you know if something is worth $450 million? If someone paid $450 million dollars for it.

    Jesus christ, I should write an article about that alone.

    Thanks for bringing my attention to the matter hahahah!
